Felvidek enemy

Look, I’m aware that the phrase “indie RPG set in early modern Hungary” sounds almost excruciatingly arch and high-falutin', but for your own sake, don’t touch that dial⁠—Felvidekhasthe juice. I was already excited for this singular-looking JRPG-style project, but after making my way through its ~45-minute demo, I’m here to say it’s a must-play.

Felvidek’s characters and writing managed to win me over after less than an hour of play: Pavol has a buddy-cop dynamic with straight-laced monk Matej, while both report to Jozef, a local nobleman who exudes confidence and composure—except for when he’s excitedly badgering your characters to join him for a comical assortment of card and board games.

I’m extremely excited to play the full game, and we don’t have long to wait either: Felvidek is set to release on March 29, and you can check out the demo or wishlist it over onSteam.
